  November 2, 2022 - If you like Pomerol at its decadent best, this wine is for you. Intensely concentrated, opulent, deep, lush, and rich, there is a polish to the creamy tannins and a depth of flavor consisting of seemingly endless waves of dark chocolate, licorice, smoke, black cherry, truffle, and espresso that you cannot get enough of. Drink from 2028-2058.

  October 5, 2022 - Chocolaty, earthy. Loads of pungent spices, ripe berries. Sweet oak. Drink in 5 years.

  April 6, 2022 - 2018 Chateau La Fleur-Petrus comes from 45-acre deep clay soils on the upper plateau of Pomerol. The vines comes in of an average of 35 years of age with 16-18 months of ageing in 50% new Franch oak.
  
  After one hour of decanting the wine had dominant aromas of green charred chillies, vanilla, plums and damp soil.
  
  After five hours in a decanter the wine has aromas of raw vanilla, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, green charred chillies, plums, wet earth, spice, some alcohol (15%), cocoa, coffee grounds, tobacco, leather, forest floor, Provence spices, anise, sweet liquorice and minerals.
  
  The wine tastes of black truffles, vanilla, blueberries, elderberries, crowberries, black cherries, cocoa, wet soil, tobacco, leather, damp soil, coffee grounds, pepper, spices, light finesse chocolate, wet stone, wet graphite, cranberries and toasted bread.
  
  The mouthfeel is shocking. The wine is experienced as very thick, with extraordinary concentration. The tannins and acidity contributes with a balance out of this world. The length of the wine is uniquely long+++, you have to experience the wine to understand the vast length of it.
  
  possibly under par bottle.
